Apple and mascarpone cake is a delicious and soft cake made with apples, a fruit I use a lot for my desserts, so much so that I wanted to make a collection with all my apple dessert recipes and I obviously recommend you check them out. To prepare this tall and soft apple cake, you will only need to use electric whisks to gradually incorporate all the ingredients. I used a 8-inch diameter cake pan, but you can also use a 9.5/10-inch pan, and you’ll have an equally good but shorter cake. Now let’s see how to make the apple and mascarpone cake, and if you try it, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare the Apple and Mascarpone Cake

Let’s start preparing the apple and mascarpone cake. Pour the eggs into a bowl and beat them with the electric whisks,
add the sugar and continue beating until you get a frothy and light mixture,
add the grated lemon peel,
the baking powder, the salt
the mascarpone
and mix everything with the electric whisks.
Sift the cornstarch directly into the bowl
and the flour
fold it in with a spatula with movements from top to bottom.
Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut two into small pieces
and one into slices that you will arrange on top.
Pour the apple pieces into the mixture
and fold them in,
pour into a previously buttered and floured cake pan and level.
arrange the apple slices in a radial pattern or as you prefer
and sprinkle with granulated or cane sugar.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 50 minutes. Make sure to do the toothpick test before removing it, and if necessary, continue baking. When the Apple and Mascarpone Cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool, then dust it with powdered sugar
and serve it.
